My first show as well
Dang, I was hooked from the git go by the music and the vibe inside and out of the Met Center. It took me a few shows though to get in the groove and get the right dancing shoes. So many friends, people I really care about to this day, I went with and met at this show. I realized what a small world it is too as people I'd met through other friends were also friends with those I went with to this one. A wonderful glorious experience. In hindsight, and maybe because it was my first Dead show, I give the actual concert, the music, 4 stars but all in all, a 5 star night. It just boggles my mind what took me so darn long to see my first Dead show!
Location
What I remember most about this show was how I could see in people dancing in each entry-way. I was also amused to see people trying to dance to Estimated Prophet. With it's 7/4 time signature, I think it really threw people for a loop. The parking lot was also an eye-opener as this was my first of only two Grateful Dead shows. I've had a tape of this show for many years but only the second set. It was nice to find the Archives web site so I could finally own the first set. It's probably not the best show available, but since it was my first, I remember it fondly and listen to it often.
